Popis: The bias dependence of the nonlinear mixing characteristics of metal‐barrier‐metal junction currents is deduced assuming an electron tunneling model. The difference‐frequency beat voltage at frequency ω1−nω2, where n is an integer and ω1 and ω2 are the assumed frequencies of two induced currents, is found to have n zeros as the diode bias is varied. Recent experimental observations have demonstrated such characteristics.
